Abstract
Background—
There has been a gradual decline in the prevalence of abnormal stress single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging studies among patients without history of coronary artery disease (CAD). The trends of SPECT studies among patients with known CAD have not been evaluated previously.
Methods and Results—
We assessed the Mayo Clinic nuclear cardiology database for all stress SPECT tests performed between January 1991 and December 2012 in patients with history of CAD defined as having previous myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass grafting. The study cohort was divided into 5 time periods: 1991 to 1995, 1996 to 2000, 2001 to 2005, 2006 to 2010, and 2011 to 2012. There were 19 373 patients with a history of CAD who underwent SPECT between 1991 and 2012 (mean age, 66.2±10.9 years; 75.4% men). Annual utilization of SPECT in these patients increased from an average of 495 tests per year in 1991 to 1995 to 1425 in 2003 and then decreased to 552 tests in 2012 without evidence for substitution with other stress modalities. Asymptomatic patients initially increased until 2006 and then decreased. Patients with typical angina decreased, whereas patients with dyspnea and atypical angina increased. High-risk SPECT tests significantly decreased, and the percentage of low-risk SPECT tests increased despite decreased SPECT utilization between 2003 and 2012. Almost 80% of all tests performed in 2012 had a low-risk summed stress score compared with 29% in 1991 (
P
<0.001).
Conclusions—
In Mayo Clinic, Rochester, annual SPECT utilization in patients with previous CAD increased between 1992 and 2003, but then decreased after 2003. High-risk SPECT tests declined, whereas low-risk tests increased markedly. Our results suggest that among patients with a history of CAD, SPECT was being increasingly utilized in patients with milder CAD. This trend parallels reduced utilization of other stress modalities, coronary angiography, reduced smoking, and greater utilization of optimal medical therapy for prevention and treatment of CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine how often unnecessary resting echocardiograms that are "not recommended" by clinical practice guidelines are performed in patients with stable chest pain and normal resting electrocardiograms (ECGs). PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective search of electronic medical records of all outpatients seen at Mayo Clinic Rochester from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2013, to identify residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, with stable chest pain and known or suspected coronary artery disease who underwent resting echocardiography and had normal resting ECGs and no other indication for echocardiography. RESULTS Of the 8280 outpatients from Olmsted County who were evaluated at Mayo Clinic Rochester with chest pain, 590 (7.1%) had resting echocardiograms. Ninety-two of these 590 patients (15.6%) had normal resting ECGs. Thirty-three of these 92 patients (35.9%) had other indications for echocardiography. The remaining 59 patients (10.0% of all echocardiograms and 0.7% of all patients) had normal resting ECGs and no other indication for echocardiography. Fifty-seven of these 59 patients (96.6%) had normal echocardiograms. Thirteen of these 59 echocardiograms (22.0%) were "preordered" before the provider (physicians, nurses, physician assistants) visit. CONCLUSION The overall rate of echocardiography in Olmsted County outpatients with chest pain seen at Mayo Clinic Rochester is low. Only 1 in 10 of these echocardiograms was performed in violation of the class III recommendation in the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association guidelines for the management of stable angina. These unnecessary echocardiograms were almost always normal. The rate of unnecessary echocardiograms could be decreased by eliminating preordering.

Abstract
Objectives. The current study investigated mental health literacy in an Australian sample to examine sex differences in the identification of and attitudes towards various aspects of mental illness. Method. An online questionnaire was completed by 373 participants (M = 34.87 years). Participants were randomly assigned either a male or female version of a vignette depicting an individual exhibiting the symptoms of one of three types of mental illness (depression, anxiety, or psychosis) and asked to answer questions relating to aspects of mental health literacy. Results. Males exhibited poorer mental health literacy skills compared to females. Males were less likely to correctly identify the type of mental illness, more likely to rate symptoms as less serious, to perceive the individual as having greater personal control over such symptoms, and less likely to endorse the need for treatment for anxiety or psychosis. Conclusion. Generally, the sample was relatively proficient at correctly identifying mental illness but overall males displayed poorer mental health literacy skills than females.

Abstract
Aims: Establishing epicardial flow with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is necessary but not sufficient to ensure nutritive myocardial reperfusion. We evaluated whether adding myocardial blush grade (MBG) and quantitative reperfusion ventricular arrhythmia “bursts” (VABs) surrogates provide a more informative biosignature of optimal reperfusion in patients with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow and ST-segment recovery (STR). Methods and results: Anterior STEMI patients with final TIMI 3 flow had protocol-blinded analyses of simultaneous MBG, continuous 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) STR, Holter VABs, and day 5–14 SPECT imaging infarct size (IS) assessments. Over 20 million cardiac cycles from >4500 h of continuous ECG monitoring in subjects with STR were obtained. IS and clinical outcomes were examined in patients stratified by MBG and VABs. VABs occurred in 51% (79/154) of subjects. Microcirculation (MBG 2/3) was restored in 75% (115/154) of subjects, of whom 53% (61/115) had VABs. No VABs were observed in subjects without microvascular flow (MBG of 0). Of 115 patients with TIMI 3 flow, STR, and MBG 2/3, those with VABs had significantly larger IS (median: 23.0% vs 6.0%, p=0.001). Multivariable analysis identified reperfusion VABs as a factor significantly associated with larger IS ( p=0.015). Conclusions: Despite restoration of normal epicardial flow, open microcirculation, and STR, concomitant VABs are associated with larger myocardial IS, possibly reflecting myocellular injury in reperfusion settings. Combining angiographic and ECG parameters of epicardial, microvascular, and cellular response to STEMI intervention provides a more predictive “biosignature” of optimal reperfusion than do single surrogate markers.

Abstract
Background:
Over the past 20 years, there has been an increasing decline in the prevalence of abnormal stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT) studies among patients with no history of coronary artery disease (CAD). The trend of SPECT studies among patients with known CAD has not been evaluated before.
Methods:
Using the Mayo Clinic nuclear cardiology database, we examined all stress SPECT tests performed between 1/1991-12/2012 in patients with prior history of CAD defined as having prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, and/or coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients with left bundle branch block, paced rhythm, bicycle or rest-only tests, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and technically unsatisfactory studies were excluded. The study cohort was divided into 5 time periods: 1991-5, 1996-2000, 2001-5, 2006-10, and 2011-12.
Results:
There were 19373 eligible SPECT tests (mean age 66.2 ± 10.9y, 75.4% men). Annual utilization of SPECT studies in patients with history of CAD increased from an average of 495 tests per year between 1991-1995 to a peak of 1425 in 2003; and then decreased to 552 tests in 2012. Asymptomatic patients comprised 33% in 1991-1995, peaked at 48% in 2006, and then decreased back to 31% in 2012. Over time, patients with typical angina decreased while patients with dyspnea increased,
P
<0.001 (Fig 1). The percentage of high risk SPECT tests significantly decreased, and the percentage of low-risk SPECT tests significantly increased despite the overall decline of SPECT utilization between 2003 and 2012. Almost 80% of all tests performed in 2012 had a low risk summed stress score compared to 29% in 1991,
P
<0.001 (Fig 2).
Conclusions:
In Mayo Clinic Rochester, annual SPECT utilization in patients with prior CAD increased between 1992 and 2003, but then decreased significantly after 2003. Fewer patients had typical angina while patients with dyspnea increased over time. High risk SPECT tests declined while low risk tests increased dramatically. These data suggest that stress SPECT was being increasingly utilized in CAD patients without typical angina who are at low risk.

Abstract
The current paper details the recommendations arising from an NIH-NHLBI/NCI-sponsored symposium held in November 2012, aiming to identify key components of a radiation accountability framework fostering patient-centered imaging and shared decision-making in cardiac imaging. Symposium participants, working in 3 tracks, identified key components of a framework to target critical radiation safety issues for the patient, the laboratory, and the larger population of patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. The use of ionizing radiation during an imaging procedure should be disclosed to all patients by the ordering provider at the time of ordering, and reinforced by the performing provider team. An imaging protocol with effective dose ≤3 mSv is considered very low risk, not warranting extensive discussion or written informed consent. However, a protocol effective dose >20 mSv was proposed as a level requiring particular attention in terms of shared decision-making and either formal discussion or written informed consent. Laboratory reporting of radiation dosimetry is a critical component of creating a quality laboratory fostering a patient-centered environment with transparent procedural methodology. Efforts should be directed to avoiding testing involving radiation, in patients with inappropriate indications. Standardized reporting and diagnostic reference levels for computed tomography and nuclear cardiology are important for the goal of public reporting of laboratory radiation dose levels in conjunction with diagnostic performance. The development of cardiac imaging technologies revolutionized cardiology practice by allowing routine, noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion and anatomy. It is now incumbent upon the imaging community to create an accountability framework to safely drive appropriate imaging utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate use criteria (AUC) for single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion images (SPECT-MPI) were developed to address the growth of cardiac imaging studies. However, these criteria have not been vigorously validated. We sought to determine the rate of abnormal stress SPECT-MPI studies and subsequent revascularization procedures as categorized by AUC. METHODS We retrospectively examined 280 patients who underwent stress SPECT-MPI and categorized these studies as appropriate, inappropriate, or uncertain based on AUC. Data regarding subsequent angiography and revascularization within 6 months after stress SPECT-MPI were collected from the electronic medical record. RESULTS 280 patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age 67.3 ± 11.4 years, 36 % female). When categorized by AUC, 62.9 % (N = 176) of stress SPECT-MPI were considered appropriate, 13.6 % (N = 38) uncertain, and 23.6 % (N = 66) inappropriate. Appropriate stress SPECT-MPI studies were more likely to have intermediate or high risk results than uncertain or inappropriate studies [40 % (N = 71) vs. 21 % (N = 8) and 18 % (N = 12), respectively; P = 0.008)]. Appropriate studies were associated with an increased rate of coronary angiography [14 % (N = 25)] compared to the uncertain (0 %) and inappropriate [3 % (N = 2)] studies (P = 0.003). There was also an increased rate of revascularization after appropriate studies [9 % (N = 16)] compared to the uncertain (0 %) and inappropriate (0 %) studies (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Appropriate stress SPECT-MPI studies are more likely to result in abnormal results requiring subsequent revascularization compared to inappropriate and uncertain stress studies. Inappropriate and uncertain stress SPECT-MPI did not lead to subsequent revascularization.

Abstract
Background:
Between 1990-2006, there was a tremendous increase in utilization of single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT). Characteristics of the observed increase of SPECT utilization have never been studied.
Methods:
Using the Mayo Clinic nuclear cardiology database, we examined all SPECT tests performed between 1/1/1991-12/31/2007 in patients without prior coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with history of CAD, left bundle branch block, paced rhythm, bicycle/ rest-only tests, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and technically unsatisfactory studies were excluded. The study cohort was divided into 4 time periods: 1991-5, 1996-2000, 2001-5, and 2006-7.
Results:
There were 29255 eligible SPECT tests (mean age 62.4 ± 12y, 54% men). Annual utilization of SPECT studies increased from 682 in 1992 to a peak of 2738 in 2002, and then decreased to 2134 in 2007, Fig 1. There were very modest changes in CAD risk factors over time. Testing of asymptomatic patients nearly doubled (21.9% in 1991-5 to 42.7% in 2006-7). Tests on patients with typical angina decreased dramatically (18.3% in 1991-5 to 5.3% in 2006-7), Fig 2. Summed stress score, summed difference score, and high risk SPECT tests decreased over time, Fig 3. Normal SPECT studies and negative study ECG increased for both pharmacologic and exercise tests.
Conclusions:
In Mayo Clinic Rochester, annual SPECT utilization in patients without prior CAD increased between 1992 and 2002, but then decreased in advance of national trends. Normal tests increased, while summed stress score, summed difference score, and high risk tests all decreased. These data suggest that SPECT was increasingly utilized in patients with a lower prevalence of CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess stress single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and stress echocardiography use after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and their effect on referral for coronary angiography and revascularization. PATIENTS AND METHODS The referral, timing, and results of stress imaging after CABG; referral for coronary angiography and revascularization; and all-cause mortality were assessed in this longitudinal, population-based, retrospective study of 1138 Olmsted County, Minnesota, patients undergoing CABG between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 2003. RESULTS A total of 570 patients (50.1%) underwent a stress imaging study (341 SPECT and 229 echocardiography) during the study period. Of the 1138 patients, 372 (32.7%) were referred for coronary angiography, and 144 of those patients (12.7%) underwent repeated revascularization (132 percutaneous revascularization and 12 CABG). The median interval between CABG and the index stress imaging study was 3.0 years (25th-75th percentile, 1.2-5.7 years). The results of 75.7% (258 of 341) of the stress SPECT studies and 70.7% (162 of 229) of the stress echocardiograms were abnormal. Seventy-six of 570 patients (13.3%) referred for stress imaging underwent coronary angiography within 180 days after the stress test. Repeated coronary revascularization was performed in 25 patients (4.4%) who underwent a stress imaging study within the preceding 180 days. The 5- and 10-year survival rates in the entire study cohort (83.5% and 65.1%, respectively) were not significantly different than predicted for the age- and sex-matched Minnesota population. CONCLUSION Half of this community-based population of patients with CABG underwent stress SPECT or echocardiography during median follow-up of 8.9 years. Despite that approximately 75% of the results of stress imaging studies were abnormal, subsequent referral for coronary angiography within 180 days was low (13.3%), and the yield for repeated revascularization was very low (4.4%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes trial demonstrated similar long-term clinical effectiveness of revascularization (REV) and intensive medical (MED) therapy. Comparisons of post-intervention ischemic burden have not been explored but are relevant to treatment decisions. This study examined differences in 1-year stress myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) abnormalities by randomized treatment. METHODS MPS was performed in 1,505 patients at 1-year following randomization. MPS images were analyzed (masked to treatment) by a Nuclear Core Laboratory using a quantitative percent (%) of total, ischemic, and scarred myocardium. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the relationship between MPS variables and trial endpoints. RESULTS At 1-year, nearly all REV patients underwent the assigned procedure; while 16% of those randomized to MED received coronary REV. Patients randomized to REV exhibited fewer stress perfusion abnormalities than MED patients (P < .001). CABG patients had more frequent ischemic and scarred myocardium encumbering ≥ 5% of the myocardium when compared to those receiving PCI. Patients randomized to MED had more extensive ischemia and the median % of the myocardium with perfusion abnormalities was lower following REV (3% vs 9%, P = .01). A total of 59% of REV patients had no inducible ischemia at 1-year compared to 49% of MED patients (P < .001). Within the CABG stratum, those randomized to MED had the greatest rate of ischemic (P = .032) and scarred (P = .017) perfusion abnormalities. At 1-year, more extensive and severe stress myocardial perfusion abnormalities were associated with higher 5-year rates of death and a combined endpoint of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (MI) rates (11.3%, 8.1%, 6.8%, for ≥ 10%, 5%-9.9%, and 1-4.9% abnormal myocardium at stress, respectively, P < .001). In adjusted models, selected MPS variables were significantly associated with an increased hazard of cardiac death or MI (hazard ratio = 1.11 per 5% increase in abnormal myocardium at stress, P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Patient management strategies that focus on ischemia resolution can be useful to guide the efficacy of near-term therapeutic approaches. A 1-year post-therapeutic intervention myocardial perfusion scan provides important information regarding prognosis in stable CAD patients with diabetes.
